A life ends too soon

Back in September, I posted about Daniel Feist, Montreal broadcaster, musician, and educator with whom I had the privilege to work many years ago. The post was called Cancer: Compelling and Personal, and I wrote about my thoughts of a killer disease that has reached into far too many of our families.

You are certainly blessed in having known D.F. personally - his passion and varied interests certainly were reflected in his work - I will miss his wonderful voice and the energy and diversity he brought to radio.

I think that cancer is possibly the most sobering (for the living) form of death. If you're around the dying, it's sobering because they are consumed from within. If you merely know of them, they are usually taken too early, and somewhat mysteriously, by something that can affect any one of us.
